description Soule and Sanjayan discuss the problem with the rapid loss of biodiversity as nearly half the world's species disappear due to deforestation. Although conservation efforts are underway to help preserve the loss of land and life, they are not enough to be really effective, and the world should focus its efforts on increasing the area that is being saved.
